Downside is, they are rather expensive: $35 for sector fights, $25 for contact fights.
Compared to a book? You can of course find books that cost less than this but the price is in the same ball park.
I'm just trying to point out that when the "free software" movement began
that was the objection to the way commercial software of the day was being "sold" (mostly it wasn't being "sold" but "leased" with the purchaser getting far less rights than pertain to ownership).
All I am trying to say is that we should object strongly when commercial software is being sold for much more than the price of a book and/or you don't really get a copy of your own for that price (you get to keep a book when you move house -- do you get to keep the program when you "move computer"?). We should not object otherwise. And technically "free software" should be considered to have a "price" in the $5 range as opposed to free as in "free beer" (that's the current typical charge for the service "provide a copy on medium to order").
